CHAPTER XX.
THERE ARE CONVENANCES.
Before the Monday came the party to Rufford Hall had become quite a settled thing and had been very much discussed.

On the Saturday the Senator had been driven to the meet, a distance of about ten miles, on purpose that he might see Lord Rufford and explain his views about Goarly.

Lord Rufford had bowed and stared, and laughed, and had then told the Senator that he thought he would "find himself in the wrong box." "That's quite possible, my Lord.

I guess, it won't be the first time I've been in the wrong box, my Lord.

Sometimes I do get right.
But I thought I would not enter your lordship's house as a guest without telling you what I was doing." Then Lord Rufford assured him that this little affair about Goarly would make no difference in that respect.
